1) Engine covers are made.. not bought hehe... sorry.. couldn't resist wording it like that. Anyway.. you have to paint them yourself. People like myself and SlyTLS (I'm sure there are others) had a body shop do it so it matched perfectly.... others did it theirselves and had great results. To do it yourself just make sure you buy high-temp paint. Stickers can be made at any vinyl shop. I actually have some available... click here if you want to check it out... www.geocities.com/juniorbean/TypeSDecal.html

2) you can pick up those kind of lights anywhere. Tim still has them on here. You should also be able to go to any autoparts store and grab some....

i went to the auto parts store, they either have bright white or purple like i already got, and not to many places around here have the ones that fit our cars, they are usually really small or to big, and i saw a site that had custome made covers that u can buy but didnt grab the address and lost the site, did a search and couldnt find it...

The only custom covers I saw on here were carbon fiber... not painted... and those cost quite a bit of money. I don't remember anyone selling painted covers... I'll have to check....

as for the dome lights, good luck. ive never been able to find a bright one. they always turn out purple. im thinking about switching mine to just hyperwhites. i did see one guy who changed them to lcd's, and those were bright, but its a big project.

Actually, there are quite a few people who have used regular spray paint (with proper preparations of course). Most body shops don't use HI-Temp paint either.

As for the carbon fiber, I believe that one was the only one made. They haven't been mass produced yet. So, indeed, to get that done will cost you some extra dough.

Agreed and agreed

Honestly though you do not need high temp paint as the covers do not get that hot.... I just put that since I knew someone else would reply with it.

FYI.......I've had my covers done for about 6 months now with no problems at all......

6 months, that's good, I've been wondering about that. Curious as to how long it stays looking good.
Did you get your's clear coated and have you waxed it?? (I heard of people waxing the covers.)
